BIOGRAPHY 

OF 

GEORGE  MARTIN  KOBER,  M.  D.,  LL  D. 

DEAN  AND  PROFESSOR  OF  HYGIENE.  SCHOOL  OF  MEDICINE 
GEORGETOWN  UNIVERSITY.  WASHINGTON.  D.  C. 

Francis  A.  Tondorf,  S.  J., 
Head  of  the  Department  of  Physiology,  Georgetozvn  Medical  School. 


S  ]\IUCH  knowledge  does  not  constitute  wisdom  nor 
a  facile  memory  a  philosopher,  so  mastery  of  the 
medical  science  does  not  of  itself  make  a  great 
physician.  If  he  be  without  a  heart,  the  sufferings 
and  countless  ills  that  human  flesh  is  heir  to,  become 
to  the  practitioner  so  many  modes  or  accidents  of 
being  clinical  phenomena,  to  be  tabulated,  observed, 
treated  and  cured,  it  may  be,  but  there  his  philosophy  of  utility  exhausts 
itself. 

When,  on  the  other  hand,  to  skill  and  learning  is  joined  the  sweet 
and  generous  temper  of  the  friend  and  comforter  who  knows  the 
precious  art  of  penetrating  beneath  the  sore  to  the  seared  soul,  then 
has  medicine  achieved  the  pattern  set  by  the  first  Great  Physician  of 
Humanity. 

It  was  not  by  chance  that  the  Anglo-Saxons  called  the  Saviour  of 
the  world  "Haelend,"  the  healer.  The  true  dignity  of  knowledge  lies 
in  its  dedication  to  the  common  good.  To  indicate  that  the  seventy 
years  of  the  life  of  Dean  Kober  measure  up  faithfully  to  this  standard 
has  made  the  task  of  itemizing  the  following  facts  one  of  sincerest  love. 
Dr.  George  Martin  Kober  was  born  to  Jacob  and  Dorothea  (Behr) 
Kober  at  Alsfeld,  Hessen-Darmstadt,  Germany,  on  March  28,  1850.  He 
received  his  earlier  education  at  the  public  and  grand-ducal  "Real- 
schule"  of  his  native  town.  His  father,  a  revolutionist,  had  vowed 
that  none  of  his  sons  should  serve  under  a  German  king,  prince,  or 
potentate.  Accordingly  he  early  prevailed  upon  George  to  emigrate  to 
the  United  States,  which  he  did  in  April,  186T.  Upon  his  arrival, 
he  found  that  his  brother  Charles,  who  had  preceded  him  to  the  States, 


had  secured  for  him  an  assignment  to  the  hospital  corps  at  the  CarHsle 
Barracks,  Pennsylvania.  Under  the  tutelage  of  Surgeon  Joseph  J.  B. 
Wright,  U.  S.  A.,  Kober  began  here  what  might  be  fittingly  styled  his 
pre-medical  course.  His  application  in  January,  187  0,  for  an  appoint- 
ment as  hospital  steward  was  acted  favorably  on  and  accordingly  we 
find  him  reporting  for  duty  on  January  10,  at  the  Frankford  Arsenal, 
near  Philadelphia.  Here  he  read  medicine  privately  under  Dr.  Robert 
Bruce  Burns,  a  graduate  of  the  University  of  Edinburgh.  Ordered 
to  Washington,  to  the  office  of  the  Surgeon-General,  in  September, 
18'M,  he  found  it  possible  to  formally  enter  upon  his  medical  studies 
in  the  Medical  School  of  Georgetown  University.  With  the  schedule 
calling  for  no  exercises  before  5  P.  M.,  Kober  was  able  to  attend  all 
the  classes  and,  not  satisfied  with  this,  he  tutored  privately  under  Drs. 
Johnson  Eliot  and  Robert  Reyburn.  After  two  winter  and  summer 
courses  he  was  graduated  in  March,  1873.  The  following  winter  he 
figured  as  the  first  graduate  of  a  post-graduate  course,  inaugurated  by 
Drs.  Thompson,  Busey,  Ashford,  and  others,  at  the  Columbia  Hospital, 
Washington,  D.  C.  During  the  period  of  his  medical  studies,  Kober 
considered  himself  fortunate  in  being  assigned  the  duty  of  indexing 
all  the  official  communications  on  file  in  the  Surgeon-General's  office 
from  1812  to  the  date  of  his  departure  in  1874.  In  these  dusty  records 
he  found  many  items  of  extreme  scientific,  historical,  and  epidemio- 
logical interest;  so  the  reports  of  Surgeon  William  Beaumont,  sta- 
tioned at  Fort  Mackinac,  Michigan,  on  his  "Observations  and  Experi- 
ments in  1825  in  the  case  of  Alexis  St.  Martin,"  who  had  been  treated 
for  a  gun-shot  wound  of  the  abdomen  resulting  in  a  gastric  fistula  ; 
so  too  the  report  of  a  perforating  gun-shot  wound  of  the  chest  with 
recovery  in  the  case  of  Gen.  James  Shields,  of  Mexican  W^ar  fame. 
Of  equal  interest  were  the  reports  on  yellow  fever  and  cholera' up  to 
the  year  1874.  Kober  learned  here  to  respect  the  old  Army  doctors, 
for  when  referring  to  them  afterwards,  in  his  lectures,  he  ever  insisted 
that  "they  knew  how  to  use  the  English  language  better  than  men  of 
modern  times."  Whilst  engaged  in  this  indexing,  Kober  had  gained 
the  confidence  and  good  will  of  Surgeon-General  Barnes  and  Assistant 
Surgeon-General  Crane,  of  Drs.  Joseph  J.  Woodward  and  George  A. 
Otis,  editors  of  the  Medical  and  Surgical  History  of  the  Ciznl  War, 
and  Dr.  John  S.  Billings,  in  charge  of  the  library,  and  who,  with  the 
assistance  of  but  one  hospital  steward,  was  laying  the  foundation  of 
the  Index  Catalogue.  Billings  found  Kober  of  service  in  supplying 
correct  titles  for  the  articles  published  in  the  German  medical  periodi- 
cals. His  fellow  clerks  fittingly  cliristened  him  "Index"  because  of 
his  unselfish  devotion  to  this  trying  work,  and  lest  the  harvester. 
Time,  should  rob  him  of  this  new  birth-right,  his  close  friend,  George 
Dowe,  on  the  occasion  of  Kober's  twenty-fourth  birthday,  did  this 
title  into  the  following  verse : 


I \idex  you  arc  r'ujiitlx  named, 

Let  thy  fiititrc  name  be  famed. 

I  do  not  come  in  grim  scholastic  mood 

To  fulminate  some  dreary  platitude. 

But  only  z^'ish.  my  loird  and  honored  friend. 

That  hope  and  peace  be  your  till  life  shall  end. 

Hope,  the  sheet  anchor  of  the  youthful  soul, 

And  peace  zclien  angry  7cazrs  of  trouble  roll. 

And,  while  you  practice  icell  the  healing  art, 

Let  stroigth  be  given  to  act  the  maidy  part; 

Good  common  sense  to  knoi^'  the  good  from  ill, 

And  test  the  pozvers  of  plasters,  draught  or  pill. 

And  if,  upon  some  distant  honored  day. 

The  men  and  z\.'omen  you  have  cured  for  pav 

Shall  add  their  record  to  your  fair  renozvn, 

By  zvriting  some  good  testimonial  dozen, 

Be  this  the  message  one  and  all  shall  send: 

That  every  patient  zi'as  your  fervent  friend. 

Search  carefully  true  zvisdom's  bounteous  stores, 

That  all  her  zvaiting  treasure  may  be  yours. 

Max  she  attend,  zvhen  years  run  trembling  dozvn. 

With  honors  zcreath  your  zvhitening  Jiairs  to  crozvn. 

Appointed  acting  assistant  surgeon,  U.  S.  A.,  he  became  post  surgeo<i 
in  July,  1874,  at  Alcatraz  Island,  California,  which  position  he  filled 
till  November  of  the  same  year,  at  which  time  he  was  ordered  to  Fort 
]\IcDermit,  Nevada,  in  the  same  capacity.  In  the  fall  of  18T5  he 
served  with  the  First  U.  S.  Cavalry  in  the  southeastern  Nevada  expedi- 
tion against  hostile  Indians  and  in  187 T  took  active  part  in  the  Nez- 
Perces  war.  From  July  to  October  of  this  year  the  field  hospital  at 
Kamiah,  on  the  Clearwater,  Idaho,  was  under  his  charge. 

In  November,  1877,  he  met  for  the  first  time  Dr.  George  ]\I.  Stern- 
berg, then  "post  surgeon  at  Walla  Walla,  and  this  acquaintance  ripened 
into  a  life-long  friendship.  Dr.  Kober  never  tired  of  acknowledging 
his  indebtedness  to  the  General  for  the  many  inspirations  he  had 
received  from  him.  Having  served  as  post  surgeon  successively  a- 
a  camp  near  Spokane,  W.  T. ;  at  Fort  Coeur  d'  Alene,  Idaho ;  Fort 
Klamath,  Oregon ;  and  Fort  Bid  well,  California,  he  was  relieved 
from  this  service"  on  the  reception  of  the  following  orders,  highly 
commendatory  of  his  efficiency : 


Post  Orders)  Fort  Bidwell,    California. 

No.  104     )  Nov.  11th.  1886. 

*  *  *  In  recognition  of  the  long  and  faithful  professional  services  rendered 
to  the  government  during  the  past  twelve  years  in  the  field,  in  pursuit  of  hostile 
Indians,   and   at  various   posts,   the   commanding  officer   cannot  part   with  him 


without  some  expression  of  his   feehngs  of  regret,  as  part  of   this  service  was 
rendered  under  his  immediate  command. 

His  devotion  to  his  professional  duties  has  been  warmly  recognized  not  only 
by  his  commanding  officer,  but  by  others,  and  has  stamped  him  as  one  of  the 
most  skilful  surgeons  in  the  U.   S.  Army. 

A  steadfast  friend,  a  faithful  officer,  with  the  many  acts  of  kindness  to  all. 
professional  and  otherwise,  he  has  endeared  himself  not  only  to  the  officers 
and  enlisted  men  of  the  garrison,  but  to  the  community  at  large,  which  he  has 
helped  to  build  up.  *  *  *  He  carries  with  him  our  best  wishes  for  his 
future   welfare   and   happiness. 

By  order  of  Alajor  Gordon. 

(Signed).     L.  M.  Brett,  2nd  Lieut..  2nd  Cavalry. 
Post  Adjutant. 

After  severing  his  connections  with  the  army,  Kober  remained  at 
this  station  caring  for  his  many  patients  until  June,  188T,  at  which 
time  he  traveled  extensively  in  America  and  Europe.  He  returned  to 
Fort  Bidwell  the  following  year.  In  the  fall  of  1889,  we  find  him  in 
Washington  devoting  his  time  to  college,  hospital,  and  literary  work. 
Besides  acting  as  professor  of  Hygiene  and  State  Medicine  in  thg 
Georgetown  Medical  School,  he  assisted  his  friend  and  former  clas?^ 
mate,  Dr.  Carrol  E.  ^lorgan,  in  his  specialties,  diseases  of  the  throat, 
chest,  etc.  In  the  winter  of  1889-90,  he  directed  the  attention  of  the 
District  authorities  te  the  sewage  pollution  of  the  Potomac  water, 
indicating  this  as  an  important  factor  in  the  alarming  prevalence  of 
typhoid  fever  in  Washington.  In  August,  1890,  he  went  to  Berlin  as 
a  member  of  the  Tenth  International  !\Iedical  Congress  and  there  read 
a  paper  entitled.  "'Etiology  of  typhoid  fever  with  special  reference  to 
water-borne  epidemics."  His  California  investments  necessitated  his 
return  to  Fort  Bidwell  in  December,  1890.  He  resumed  his  medical 
practice  there  and  for  a  year  or  more  was  again  attending  surgeon 
of  the  post. 

His  alma  mater  welcomed  him  back  to  the  lecture  room  in  the  fall 
of  1893.  From  this  date  on,  health  problems  of  the  District,  its  social 
and  industrial  betterment  were  his  one  concern.  At  the  request  of 
the  Health  Officer,  in  1895,  he  investigated  the  possible  causes  of 
typhoid  fever  in  the  city  and  in  his  report  suggested  the  agency  of 
flies  as  a  transmitter  of  the  disease.  His  public  addresses  on  various 
occasions  and  researches  into  the  relative  merits  of  the  various  pro- 
cesses of  water  filtration,  very  materially  influenced  Congress  toward."^ 
appropriating  the  necessary  funds  for  the  installation  of  the  model 
filtration  plant  at  Brookland,  District  of  Columbia.  During  the  years 
1895-96,  Kober  was  a  volunteer  worker  in  the  Hygienic  Laboratory  of 
the  Public  Health  Service  of  the  United  States.  As  a  member  of  the 
board  of  directors  of  the  Associated  Charities  the  housing  problem  for 
the  least  resourceful  people  in  the  national  capital  appealed  to  hir 
with  special  emphasis  and  accordingly  he  is  recognized  as  one  of  thn 
nrincipal  promoters  of  the  Washington  Sanitary  Housing  Companies 
organized  in  1897  and  1901.  Through  these  agencies  sanitary  houses, 
at  reasonable  rentals,  have  been  provided  for  over  eight  hundred  wage- 

(5 


earners  and  their  (le])endents.  The  sueeess  of  this  earHer  enterprise 
has  lent  enconragenient  to  a  system  on  a  wider  basis  not  only  in  the 
national  eapital  but  other  larger  cities  o-f  the  States  and  merited  for 
Kober  a  gold  medal  of  award  at  the  Paris  International  Exposition  of 
1900.  Acting  as  secretary  of  two  housing  companies  from  the  day  of 
their  organization  until  November,  li)15,  upon  the  death  of  General 
George  M.  Sternberg,  he  succeeded  to  the  office  of  president.  In  1897, 
he  was  elected  an  honorary  member  of  the  Association  of  Military 
Surgeons  of  the  L'uited  States,  undoubtedly  in  recognition  of  his 
services  as  civilian  physician  in  the  United  States  Army  as  likewise 
because  of  his  able  communication  "The  Place  of  Military  Medicine 
and  Surgery  in  the  Medical  College  Curriculum."  "When  reviewed  in 
the  light  of  the  recent  World  War  this  paper  and  a  kindred  one  entitled  : 
"Higher  Medical  Education  and  a  Plea  for  Better  Training  of  the 
Volunteer  Medical  Officer,"  published  in  1898,  have  special  significance. 
As  a  medical  educator,  Dr.  Kober  strenuously  espoused  every  method 
of  scientific  research.  Thoroughly  convinced  that  animal  experimen- 
tation must  yield  most  marvelous  results,  we  find  him,  as  chairman  of 
the  Committee  of  Public  Health  of  the  Civic  Center  on  February  15, 
1900,  filing  a  most  vigorous  protest  against  the  enactment  of  Senate 
Bill,  No.  34:,  whose  purport  was  to  restrict  the  use  of  animals  for 
experimental  purposes  in  medicine.  The  brief  he  submitted  on  this 
occasion  embodies  facts  and  arguments  which  convinced  even  the 
sponsor  of  the  bill,  Senator  J.  H.  Gallinger,  that  the  proposed  legisla- 
tion was  superfluous.  It  may  be  pertinent  to  mention  here  that  Kober 
very  effectually  recalled  this  incident  before  the  Judiciary  Committee 
Hearing  in  November,  1919,  when  a  similar  bill  by  the  anti-vivi- 
sectionists  was  under  discussion.  In  1901,  Kober  was  selected  to 
deliver  before  the  American  Medical  Association,  at  St.  Paul,  Minne- 
sota, the  "Oration  on  State  Medicine."  His  theme  was :  "The  Progress 
and  Tendency  of  Hygiene  and  Sanitary  Science  in  the  Nineteenth 
Century."  This  same  year  he  was  invseted  as  dean,  of  the  medical 
school  of  his  alma  mater.  His  plans  for  a  curriculum  calculated  to 
insure  for  medical  aspirants  a  more  complete  and  harmonious  education 
was  set  forth  in  his  "Plea  for  a  Standard  Medical  Curriculum,"  read 
before  the  Association  of  American  Medical  Colleges,  in  1904.  At  this 
meeting  he  was  appointed  chairman  of  a  "Committee  on  National 
Uniformity  of  Curriculum."  The  report  submitted  by  the  committee 
was  approved  and  it  is  a  pleasing  reflection  to  recall  that  Dr.  William 
J.  Means,  in  his  presidential  address,  March  4,  1919,  referred  to  it 
in  most  appreciative  terms.  June  14,  1906,  Kober  was  the  recipient 
of  the  honorary  degree  of  Doctor  of  Law  from  his  alma  mafcr.  The 
citation  follows  : 

"It  is  fitting  that  miiversities  should  show  their  appreciation  of  their 
sons  who  have  done  distinguished  service  in  the  cause  of  science  and 
humanity.     There  are  none  more  worthy  than  they  who  lessen  human 


misery  and  by  their  .s^eniiis  and  devotion  ward  off  disease  and  suf- 
fering amongst  men.  They  are  the  truep  hilanthropists,  inspired  with 
genuine  unselfish  love  for  their  fellows.  Such  is  the  man  whom  the 
university  gladly  and  gratefully  honors  today ;  a  man  who  besides  his 
duties  to  the  prblic.  acknowledged  and  rewarded  already  by  distant 
nations,  has  labored  in  season  and  out  of  season  for  the  welfare  of  the 
medical  school  of  this  university  and  of  each  individual  student  until 
his  work  has  been  recognized  by  the  official  medical  body  of  the  United 
States  in  electing  him  President  of  the  Association  of  American  Schols 
of  ^Medicine,  and  in  its  public  declaration  that  the  course  of  study 
introduced  b}-  him  into  Georgetown  ^Medical  School  should  be  the 
standard  of  all  medical  schools." 

President  Theodore  Roosevelt  in  1906,  designated  Kober  as  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Board  of  Charities  and  in  May  of  the  following  year  as 
a  member  of  the  President  Homes  Commission.  As  chairman  of  the 
Committee  on  Social  Betterment  he  drew  up  monographs  on  "Industrial 
Hygiene"  and  "Social  Betterment,"  which  were  published  as  Senate 
document  No.  644  in  1908.  At  the  meeting  of  the  first  Conference  on 
the  Conservation  of  National  Resources,  which  convened  at  the  White 
House  May  13,  1908,  on  invitation  of  the  President  of  the  United 
States,  he  addressed  that  body  on  "The  Conservation  of  Life  and 
Health  by  Improved  Water  Supply."  Dr.  Kober  has  been  a  member 
of  the  National  Tuberculosis  Association  since  its  organization  in 
1905.  He  is  also  a  member  of  the  local  Society  for  the  Study  and 
Prevention  of  Tuberculosis.  His  plans  were  adopted  in  the  construc- 
tion of  the  Tuberculosis  Hospital  in  Washington,  formally  opened  to 
patients  June  28,  1908,  and  were  awarded  a  medal  at  the  exposition 
connected  with  the  International  Congress  on  Tuberculosis  held  in 
Washington  in  the  fall  of  1908.  He  may  be  very  fittingly  designated  a 
pioneer  worker  in  the  crusade  against  tuberculosis,  having  read  as 
early  as  1889  a  paper  entitled :  "Etiology  and  Prevention  of  Tubercu- 
losis in  the  Light  of  Alodern  Research,"  before  the  Medical  Society 
of  the  District  of  Columbia.  This  lecture  was  published  by  the  State 
Board  of  Health  of  California  as  a  special  pamphlet  in  1890  and  was 
followed  by  a  second  in  1893,  "A  Plea  for  the  Prevention  of  Tubercu- 
losis," which  had  been  previously  read  before  the  State  Sanitary  Con- 
vention of  California. 

Dr.  Kober  is  a  Fellow  of  the  American  Medical  Association,  of  the 
American  Association  for  the  Advancement  of  Science,  likewise  a 
member  of  the  Advisory  Council  of  that  same  body.  jMember  of  the

In  1912,  Dr.  Kober  was  appointed  by  the  President  of  the  American 
iMedical  Association,  Chairman  of  a  Committee  on  Red  Cross  Medical 
Work.  This  Commitee  was  created  so  as  to  provide  a  body  of  repre- 
sentative physicians  of  approved  qualification  to  direct  or  participate 
in  medical  work,  carried  on  by  the  Red  Cross  in  different  localities  in 
times  of  war  or  emergencies  and  to  advise  with  representatives  of 
that  society  in  handling  medical  and  sanitary  problems  incident  to 
such  an  occurrence.  The  Committee  up  to  May,  1916,  organized  com- 
mittees in  588  county  medical  societies  located  in  47  states.  During 
the  recent  world  war  he  was  a  m.ember  of  the  committee  on  "Con- 
servation and  Welfare  of  Workers"  and  chairman  of  the  Committee 
of  Rural  Workmen's  Areas  with  Special  Reference  to  Housing ;  Mem- 
ber of  the  Council  of  Defense,  District  of  Columbia  ;  Chairman  of  the 
Committee  on  housing. 

Dr.  Kober  is  the  author  of  110  monographs,  chapters  in  text  books, 
journal  articles  and  reviews  on  medical,  surgical,  sanitary  and  sociologi- 
cal subjects,  and  over  120  published  discussions.  His  first  medical 
essay  was  on  "Infantile  Paralysis"  published  in  the  Pacific  Medical 
Journal  in  November,  1874,  in  which  he  preented  all  the  available 
evidence  that  the  disease  was  due  to  some  organic  lesion  of  the  medulla 
spinalis.  In  the  same  year  he  published  his  Urinology  and  its  practical 
application.  In  1875,  he  published  notes  in  the  American  IVeeklx,  Vol. 
Ill,  p.  241-243,  on  chronic  dysentery  treated  with  injections  of  a 
solution  of  chlorate  of  potash,  and  adenitis  (tubercular)  treated  with 
injections  of  carbolic  acid  and  glycerine.  In  October,  1876,  he  reported 
in  the  American  Journal  Medical  Sciences,  a  case  of  gun-shot  wound 
of  the  knee  joint,  in  which  he  used  probably  for  the  first  time  an 
injection  of  tincture  of  iodine  and  carbolic  acid.  Dr.  Edmond  Souchon, 
of  New  Orleans,  in  his  monograph  on  "Original  Contributions  of 
y\merica  to  ^Medical  Sciences"  credits  Dr.  Kober  as  having  been  the 

0 


first  to  publish  notes  on  the  three  subjects  referred  to.  He  also  credits 
him  with  having  been  the  first  to  point  out  that  insects,  especially  flies 
are  doubtless  frequently  the  cause  of  spreading  typhoid  fever.  Dr. 
Kober's  tabulation  of  33U  milk-borne  epidemics  and  his  monograph  on 
"Milk  in  Relation  to  Publi(;  Health"  and  his  first  book  on  "Industrial 
Hygiene,"  published  as  Senate  documents,  and  his  chapter  dealing 
with  the  eft'ects  of  .diminished  atmosphere  upon  the  health  of  aviators 
published  in  191B,  are  regarded  as  pioneer  contributions  to  American 
medical  literature. 

Such  is  the  story  of  a  lifetime  of  sound  scholarship  and  scientific 
achievements  which  have  made  him  an  ornament  to  the  medical  pro- 
fession and  a  consolation  to  his  alma  mater.  No  form  of  human  misery 
has  been  so  low  as  not  to  be  the  object  of  his  solicitude,  no  need  of 
the  University  has  been  so  insignificant  as  not  to  command  complete 
response.  He  has  done  good  in  the  open,  he  has  done  good  by  stealth, 
but,  withal,  as  one  devoid  of  the  spoiling  taint  of  vanity  or  self-seeking. 
Of  a  personal  integrity  unimpeached  and  unimpeachable,  of  unswerv- 
ing fidelity  in  adherence  to  high  ideals  of  medical  education,  his  is 
the  singular  privilege  to  note  his  name  chiseled  high  on  the  pilar  of 
the  temple  of  fame.
